Chick-filet on DORA THE EXPLORER DAY! Tons of little kiddos running amok and the floor sticky with spilled soda. I never went in there again.
The same thing happened when I tried the much touted Waffle House. One grandkid was a baby in a carrier so we go in there to eat..put the carrier next to us on the floor and there are ANTS EVERYWHERE!!!! It was so disgusting i was thiiiis close to calling a health inspector until our waitress who was about 100 came over and waited on us. We decided to stay and eat cuz we were the ONLY ones in there. We moved to a less infested table.. I didnt call to report them as between the waitress and the cook there werent a full set of teeth and I figured they really needed their jobs.

But never again did I eat at Waffle House....or CF and I'll talk about my experiences at Piggly Wiggly some other day.
